Carelinq Dental vs DEXIS Imaging Suite
DEXIS’s imaging software for 2D X-rays and photos, linked to practice software through DEXintegrator. Carelinq Dental is practice management and imaging in one app, on Windows, Mac, iPad and Android tablets.
What changes
One system instead of two
DEXIS Imaging Suite runs next to your practice software and links to it. Carelinq Dental is the practice software and the imaging, so there is no second license, bridge or install to keep running.
2D, CBCT and scans in one viewer
Radiographs, CBCT volumes and intraoral scans open in the same Imaging module, filed by exam, tooth and modality, next to the chart.
On every screen in the office
Review images on the operatory PC, a Mac in the consult room or an iPad chairside. It’s the same app on each.
